Teaching degree Gymnasium / Bachelor of Education

The specialised scientific training provides in-depth knowledge in the areas of experimental physics and the structure of matter as well as basic knowledge of theoretical physics. In terms of content, experimental physics focuses on the four fundamental sub-areas of mechanics, electrodynamics, waves and quanta as well as thermodynamics. School content is taken up and deepened. The structure of matter describes the structure of atoms and molecules. Theoretical physics addresses aspects of classical mechanics, electrodynamics and quantum mechanics.

Compulsory modules

According to LPO I, at least 92 credit points must be earned from specialised courses, 77 of which must be from compulsory modules and at least 15 from constrained elective modules.

Note: It is possible to complete the advanced practical course I in an extended form with 8 credit points. In this case, 6 CP are credited to the compulsory area, 2 CP to the free elective courses in.

Constrained elective modules

At least 15 credit points must be earned from the constrained elective modules.

Note: Only PHY-LA-GYM-W-03 or PHY-B-P-04 and PHY-LA-GYM-W-41 or PHY-LA-GYM-W-44 can be credited.

In the physics didactics courses, you will learn the basics for successful physics lessons. You will learn how to use experiments effectively and how to successfully combine learning content with experimentation. You will design physics lessons together with experienced lecturers and reflect on them. They also receive suggestions for creative physics lessons in specially designed modules.

Compulsory modules

In the compulsory area, a module with 6 credit points and a final oral module examination must be completed.

Constrained elective modules

At least 4 credit points from the constrained elective modules must be demonstrated. Courses from the didactics constrained elective courses can also be booked in the free elective courses (15 credits) or in the EWS elective courses.

It is recommended to complete the internship and the associated seminar from the 6th semester onwards. The 5 credit points for the internship (including the accompanying university course) are allocated to the free elective courses in.

Requirements for admission are a general higher education entrance qualification, a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification or a professional qualification. An application is not necessary for domestic students, as the degree programme is not subject to admission restrictions. International students should refer to the application information provided by the International Office.

A German Language Certificate forStudents with Foreign University Entrance Qualification is required.
